Processor constraint
Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with my newly constructed PC. This is my initial build experience, and I’m unsure how to proceed. My system specifications are: CPU – Ryzen 5 2400G, GPU – Radeon RX 5600 XT, RAM – 16GB at 2666MHz, and motherboard – ASRock B450M Pro4. After finishing the build, I began playing several games and encountered consistently low frame rates in some titles, such as Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which averages 30-40 fps. I'm unclear about what might be limiting my system’s performance. Could the Ryzen 5 2400G be contributing, or is there a possibility that the graphics card is defective? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
My system has 2x8GB of 2666MHz RAM, and my graphics drivers are version 20.4.1, which I believe is the latest available. My HDMI cable is connected to my graphics card. Is it possible that my GPU is malfunctioning or damaged? Or could my Ryzen 5 2400G be limiting performance?
This might be due to various factors; we shouldn’t assume anything immediately. Could you please specify your monitor's resolution? Obtain and install MSIAFTERBURNER, then track the CPU core/thread activity and GPU usage while playing a game. Kindly inform us if any CPU cores or threads are consistently at 100% utilization, or if the GPU is approaching maximum capacity.
My screen dimensions are 1366 by 768, which is comparable to an older display. I will execute the tests and share the results publicly once they are finished.
I recently played Assassin’s Creed: Origins and I've included a screenshot taken while using Afterburner to monitor my system performance.
I’m struggling with this, and my attempts haven't come close to 100%, indicating a problem beyond the current configuration. It’s possible my RAM, at 2666MHz, is a significant factor, though I doubt it would cause such a substantial difference compared to using 3000-3200MHz modules.
The graphics card temperature is approximately 60 degrees Celsius / 140 degrees Fahrenheit. I was unable to locate the CPU temperature within Afterburner or Radeon Settings. Could you advise where else I might find this information? Furthermore, I observed that the GPU was operating at speeds ranging from roughly 850 to 1300 megahertz. Is it possible that this is due to undervolting or some other kind of adjustment? I suspect it might be capable of achieving higher clock speeds.
You might find it in Afterburner, but consider attempting Ryzen Master for your CPU.
